Start with a single 3D printer in your bedroom and scale up to a full manufacturing operation by managing materials, upgrading equipment, and hiring staff. The game emphasizes idle progression with offline gains, though it requires active attention to maintain reputation and wrangle sometimes-stubborn worker AI. Best suited for tycoon fans who enjoy resource management, though expect a steep learning curve around automation logistics.

fun game, definitely recommend, but I have a few issues.

- The AI for the automation workers are pretty dumb, just prioritizing the first order and ignoring others regardless of time remaining. Especially the Rookie worker, it feels like you are constantly fighting it the entire time, even had occasional issues with the top tier veteran worker.

- Reputation is broken or needs rebalancing, my reputation went down to 0 pretty quickly due to impossible orders for a beginner. Reputation cannot be re-earned from my experience.

- Besides the toggleable background music, there is almost 0 sound.

But aside from those few points, fun game. Here are some suggestions for the developer.

- A way to manually control workers and what material they print with
- A feature to see the prints printing in 3d instead of the usual printer head animation
- A feature to auto fill orders when you reach the required prints
- An option to allow workers to cancel prints if an order appears
- More printers!
- More sound effects
- Loans
- Scalable orders that increase in difficulty as your progress

Very fun but I wish there was a way to watch the prints in 3d. It would also be nice if there were more 3d printers and of popular brands like bamboo lab and creality or more printers overall. I'd really like if workers didnt have set filaments rather an "all" selection to do whatever the orders call for. Very fun and would reccomend, amazing sound track.

Latest updates

Steam Saves!

1 day ago
Turns out it wasn't that difficult to do, just a config change. There might be some hiccups to begin with, but I will amend them as soon as I can. There were some smaller updates today too in case you didn't see them. Dropdowns should work when streaming. Hopefully fixed Linux crashes (turn off any compatibility settings). Saving after prestiging should work now. Some other bits and pieces. Hope you're having fun. Any issues, as you should know by now, let me know :) Future I really want to implement Steam achievements... But first I need to un-placeholder ALL of the artwork, animate all the printers, and the redo the store page, that's going to be a lot of work, so bear with me.

Dropdowns re-work

1 day ago
Dropdowns now work under Steam streaming / Remote Play and Proton. Worker room assignment and all other dropdowns previously used native menus that appear invisible; so I changed them to a game rendered version.

Saving and Linux launching issues

2 days ago
I can't really test these on anything but Windows, Mac, Mint, and SteamOS, let me know if this fixes any issues for you..Saving after prestige should now work. The game thought prestiges were smaller save files, therefore wouldn't overwrite the save. - I did this out of abundance of caution early onCrashes upon startup - I've improved the startup logic to not mix in Windows only drivers. Please check you're not forcing any compatibility, Steam should ship the game with Sniper 3.0
